    Yeah, I meant the media sets up the huge rumors. Longshots to begin with that set up unrealistic expectations for Morey to fulfill. Morey's body of work is good in my book

    would you still say this after watching drummond put up 7 pts and 7 rebounds with 3-4 fouls for 82 games next season?

    If you keep Drummond it is not about next season. And I would gladly see that as long as I see imporvement and development.

    How are people so against bringing on one of the top 5 players in the league?

    This board baffles me.

    If we added Dwight, w/o giving anything up...we still wouldn't win the Championship!

    If we got Dwill and Dwight, we wouldn't win either!

    Let's get Drummond and someone else at #16 so we can be competitive in 4-5 years when Miami is done!

    I think Bima laid out the scenario perfectly. Three way trade

    Houston get 5,8 Calderon

    Kings get 14,16, Sammy D

    Raps get Lowry

    Houston then trades 5-8 plus Martin/Scola for Howard

    i think i'd rather keep the picks we get in deals and rebuild than throw all our eggs in a dwight howard trade ... afraid of back problems + he can join another team next year ...

    And then become a serious contender for the #1 overall pick when Shabaaz is coming out?

    Yea, we will look like clowns alright.

    Everyone is complaining about giving up (2) top 8 picks and Howard being a rental

    It's a win win no matter what.

    We can keep the picks and trade the likes or Lowry Martin and Scola

    We can get Howard and he leaves after one year

    We get Howard and he stays.

    Don't forget we can flip Howard. He prolly wants to go to a certian team. He can get paid more by doing a sign and trade. With us and his desired team.

    Like Carmelo Anthony.

    And we can get a kings ransom or at least assests back.

    So everyone please stop being stupid and wake up

    At least he rockets are doing something and nothing.

    All the ones who are complaining now are the ones who complain about being mediocre every year.

    Yeah, I didn't mean to direct that towards you.
    I just get tired of people complaining about anticipating disappointment because they got worked up over so many pre-draft rumors. Those people should just ignore or avoid the rumors.
    If anything, despite all the speculation on this board, Morey has tended to throw us all for a loop with his actual moves, most of which people agree with when they actually happen.

    Sorry, but he's coming out next summer, most likely, especially if he is a one and done player.

    That's pretty solid for a 18 year old center.
